Abstract:
As soon as a child is diagnosed with cancer, the family dynamics are overturned. The parents, destabilised by their feelings of powerlessness, must establish a dialogue with the caregivers, and the siblings must be supported from the moment the diagnosis is made. A psychoanalyst should be brought in early on in the end-of-life phase to offer support to the family members undergoing this ordeal.
